Abstract	Many school-based interventions for obesity prevention have been proposed with positive changes in behavior. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of a NLEP on prevention obesity among adolescents. Schools were randomized to intervention and control group. Methods and materials: Quantitative research approach with true experimental research design was used to find out the knowledge on prevention of obesity among school adolescents. The study was conducted among 200 adolescents studying 8th, 9th, 10th 11th and 12th in selected senior secondary schools, jalandhar, Punjab. Probability stratified sampling technique was used to select samples. Structured questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of adolescents regarding prevention of obesity. Major findings: The overall analysis shows that poor knowledge was found in both experimental group 58% and control group 68% before the implementation of NLEP. In the experimental group, knowledge scores had improved after the implementation of NLEP, i.e., excellent knowledge is 36%, good knowledge is 47% and average knowledge was 17%. Further, in the control group, It was observed that in post-test 5% had very poor knowledge, 68% had poor knowledge, 20% was average knowledge and only 7% had good knowledge. From the findings it can be interpreted that NLEP improved the level of knowledge in the experimental group significantly than the control group. Pre test knowledge of adolescents regarding prevention of obesity shows that, out of 100 experimental samples (75%) children had inadequate knowledge, 35(23.6%) children had moderate adequate knowledge and 2(1.4%) children had adequate knowledge. Conclusion: The results shown that, the nurse led educational package on prevention of obesity was improved the knowledge regarding prevention of obesity among the school adolescents.
